The Lumia 800 [=

Ah, nice. That's a Windows phone isn't it? WP7 does intrigue me, although I'm quite happy with my 4S.

Yeah it's a Windows Phone. Six months ago I would have laughed at the thought of getting one, but since then my smartphone use as done a complete 180. I used to have about 8 screens of apps which I used the majority of quite regularly, now my iPhone is in that bad a state I've stopped using most apps that are remotely battery intensive, and I haven't missed it much at all. I'm now just after a phone with a great camera, nice web browser and proper social network integration, which the 800 excels at. Plus it's so pretty

Yeah, that makes sense. Not a bad way to do it at all.

I know, means I'm getting the handset for about a tenth of the price once I see it off, so I'm happy [=

I do like the look of win pho but seeing as I now have a good collection of paid for android apps I think I'll be staying put for a while. Will certainly look at it when my contract is up in 18 months

Anyone else on here watch loads of random unboxings
( I was addicted to them last year )

I don't think I've ever watched an unboxing before, how can you get excited if it's not you unboxing it?

Haha I don't want to think about the amount I've spent on the iOS app store XD

Depends on the product really, if it's something I'd want myself or downright awesome then I watch them, I tend to glaze over the dozens upon dozens of Android handsets that the tech channels I subscribe to unbox each month though

Oh yeah I don't doubt that, it's just I personally don't see the point in them

[mikeyd85]

I've watched the odd unboxing video, but they fail to convey the best part of unboxing new tech. That new tech smell.

In my last job I was unboxing MacBooks/MBPs practically every other week. Kinda strips the novelty away after a while...

JK, unboxing shiny Apple stuff never gets old.
